After dabbling in hydropnics, I heard about the Kratky method. I asked myself - what is the kratkey method? It's just a different way of growing plants in hydroponics. The difference is that this method doesn't require a bubbler to supply oxygen into the water of which the plant needs. This was just a trial run for now to get used to this easy hydoponics option. i chose to grow lettuce in kratkey because i know that i can grow that in the winter using this hydroponic method. Growing lettuce in hydroponic is alot easier than you think.

I was googling for the Kratky method and that's where i found your video 🎥 .. i have subscribed to your channel .. I have a Letpot 21 MAX Hydroponics system .. and 12 Mason jars with the Kratky method implemented .. By watching just this one video .. i now know allot more about this simple method ..U R AWESOME 😎👍
Thanks for the straight forward info, enjoyed listening and learning - much appreciated!!
Hope it all works out!
Can’t wait to try it! Inspiring 😊
You are passionate and inspiring, thank you. HAPPY EARTH DAY!
This is the best video of the Kratky method I've ever seen, and your energy is brilliant
Thanks so much!😁🌻
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL ALREADY! Came for your name, b/c same 😂, stayed for your amazing personality and information! Thank youuuuu for being here! Subbed✨💚
U get the struggle😆 Welcome to the squad🌻
Thanks good work
You can use cotton balls in the net pots
Great video. Did you paint the inside of the milk jugs?
No I didn't just the outside
Do you use seeds? If yes please let me know how. Thanks ☀️
I love your channel, I just did a seed review but I’m no where near your level of a Gardner
😂great job❤
Thanks for video. So once you put them in the jug you didn't add any more water until harvest?
Nope didn't need to add any more water🤷♀️ depending on what ya plant is how much they'll suck up water. Lettuce not so much but u can tell if you're running low by picking up the container u can always just add more. Some of my lettuce containers had leftover water whereas now for example I have Broccoli n tomatoes in kratky and boy do those suck up water.
Can I out the jugs outdoors? What happens if it rains and rainwater drop into the jug?
They shouldn't be exposed to the rain. U can put them under a tarp, in a greenhouse etc
😀
Can you grow weed this way?
I bought a 25 lb package of the Masterblend mix, scales to measure by weight, and a kilo of MaxiGro. I bought a big package of those clay balls to experiment with because they`re reusable.
Nice! I've learned since that video that foam pool noodle works great for holding the plant too! Sounds like you're gonna have fun growing!
@@TheAdhdGardener I bought a pool noodle to experiment with. I`m at my sister`s house waiting to move into a 30 ft camper this Summer on a rural lot where I can have gardens and can`t do anything here. My nephew let his kid destroy one of my hydroponic gardens (that`s my fault for owning a garden as far as he`s concerned) and keeps opening my packages (he`s a prison guard) so I can`t wait to get out of here. I don`t want to make headlines.
did you spray paint your gallon jugs ?
Yep I did with black spray paint
@@TheAdhdGardener thanks im really glad i found your channel im on my 3rd attempt in my first season lol .cantaloupe fail watermelon fail cucumber fail tomato kinda fail i got peppers still (nervous smile)
I aint understsnd nothing...because of your eyes..when the video ended i wake up
Why does your Kratky lettuce look all wrinkley?
I think your nutrient mix might have too much nitrogen maybe?
Depends on the variety of lettuce. Some are more smoother n some are like that
IMMEDIATE SUBSCRIBE. Your name tells me im going to love your channel
😆 I have my moments. Welcome/Bienvenidos!!!
Got me supped
FYI.. your 12/12/6 grams per 5 gallon masterblend formula is for TOMATOS -... Leafy greens.. uses a 10/10/5 gram per 5 gallon formula. You know that right?
no need to be weird and condescending, i have seen lots of people use the same mix for a variety of plants.
I’m don’t have money to buy the chemicals so I’m going to try my pee water😂😂
Great video. But... it's Kratky, no E. And I don't think he invented Master Blend. :)
Oops on the spelling😄 damn now I gott really nose dive more into it as I use this method more
@@TheAdhdGardener Yes you do. I love it. I have an outdoor garden, but still use it all the time. I just setup new Kratky buckets in my greenhouse yesterday.
